I see no room to get them in from the back without removing a lot of stuff. Is all all-thread grade 2? That seems crazy that it would be that low, considering what it has been used for by so many people.

Jeff, I saw that write-up and that is what I was basing my install on. As for the front, yes, I'm doing the full hoop. Instructions from FFR have you install the overriders and then clamp the hoop in position and drill for hardware. If this is the case, I could do 1 at a time, correct? And then bolt the hoop on after overriders are installed?
Wiz,
JR's car isn't a FFR so apples and oranges. Grade 2 all thread is fine for this use---the bumpers and overriders are not structural, only decorative. As for the front...apparently you have the old 3 piece front setup rather than the one piece fully welded Mk4 version. The 3 piece set usually doesn't fit the Mk4 very well...often the best way to make it work is redrill the overrider holes so that they set out wider allowing the hoop to fit in between them.
